Over the past two years, vast numbers of Americans picked up and moved. In a mobile society like ours, that’s not news. What is news is where they are moving from, and where they are going to.
Turns out, there’s a mass exodus underway, with people leaving Biden strongholds and heading to MAGA country.
New Census data show that, from 2021 to 2022, more than 2 million people moved out of urban areas that are largely controlled by Democrats and relocated to exurbs and more rural areas that largely voted for Donald Trump.
[We can conclude from this data that Americans are “voting with their feet” *against Democrats.* I’m not sure that it shows that they’re voting *for Trump*, though. I think they’re just getting away from the horrid central-control political environments that Democrats are creating, and especially all of the perverse and toxic outcomes those policies produce. — Ed]
